Frequently asked questions

Pay with Rewards is an innovative solution by Mastercard® that allows HSBC Rewards credit card customers to use their reward points against purchases they make at millions of participating locations worldwide, both for point of sale (POS) transactions as well as online transactions.

Simply register via the Pay with Rewards mobile app, or through the Pay and Rewards website.

You’ll earn points whenever you use your card to make a purchase but you won’t be able to see or use your points until after you’ve registered.

You can redeem your points against a purchase at any time, even if you haven’t got enough points to cover the whole of a transaction. You can even set your preferences so your points are automatically used for your next purchase. The original purchase, and the corresponding Pay with Rewards credit, will appear on your monthly credit card statement.

And don’t worry, if you forget to allocate your points before making a purchase, you can still use them against a valid transaction made within the last 7 days on the App.

With Pay with Rewards, you have endless opportunities for using points against purchases you make, in-store or online, at millions of eligible Mastercard locations, within and outside of the UK*. You can view and redeem your rewards via mobile app or online. Set your Pay with Rewards preferences and simply use your card like you normally would. The monetary equivalent of your points will be credited to your card account.

*(Any Non-sterling transactions will be charged with a Non-sterling transaction fee of 2.99%. The fees will be applied on the entire transaction amount regardless of the points used. Reward Points can’t be used against the Non-sterling transaction fee).
